My heart is light, my arm is strong I care not what the fates may give ; Irt child and coward fear to live. Ami tremble at the charge of wrong." So sang he. And the sun was gone, . The pile of color failed fast, Tho night breeze rose and whistled past. The stars came slowly one by one, His ln-art Ix-at low ho turned him back ; Dark loomed the rugged rocks before, And all along the sad gray shore . Itoaml loud the breakers, stern and black. No more he sang, but sadly thought Of lite and death, and sickness pale Of how the stoutest arm may fail. The truest heart may sometimes doubt. Yes, fate some part is in thy hand ! The. prize not always crowns the brave! The tide is turned, up rolls the wave; We build our pride upon the sand.

Almost every lady experted..her husband on the train. Manv ivbunff ladies expected their sweethearts.' Neither the stage, the driver, nor the horses were visible. From force of habit the travelers felt their way to the reception room. I got mixed up with the crowd. Twenty five married ladies, seven old maids, and four young ladies commenced greet ing the passengers in the darkness. "My dear William ! why did you stay so long?" exclaimed a sweet young wife, and then she threw her arms around my neck our lips met. I wasn't going to be a darned fool. Far different. Now, adearrsweet,linuid-eyed brunette threw her arms wildly around me, "O, Eugene, why did you not write oftcner?" she sobbed,and then she sank sweetly on my bosom. I said, "Weep not Julia," and then I kissed hersweet ly twenty-two times. It was delicious. It made me think of my first wife and my college days at Yale. A jonderous matron now approachllreKS eecoWefe, hair a la pompadour. She took me in her arm and whispered, "0,Charles,did you bring igy beautiful dog did you?" "Madame, my name is not Charles, and I hate dogs. I'd kill every d d d ," but she fell fainting at my feet. A sweet, golden-liaired blonde now took my . hand. ! She pressed it gently, saying : "Dear Albert, I know Ft is you, and I am so glad to see you! You wont' dance with Lizzie Smith, now, will you ? Now,do prom ise m e ! " I said I wouldn't. Then she held her cheek clowe to mine. It was hot with love's young hope and pure, sweet af fection. W e were very happy. None but a wicked man would have brought sadness to this sweet, pure young heart full of confidence, warm with virgin affection, and beautiful with splendid girlishness. "Do you still love me, Al bert?" she whispered. "Undoubtedly," I remarked. "How much, darling?" "A heap.'VO, I am i too happy!" she murmured, as she twisted her fingers in my auburn hair! and held me in sweet embrace. This sort 6f thing went on for seventeen minutes, when C. Ice land appeared in the distance with a tallow candle. I quietly withdrew and mingled unobserved in the crowd. As the candle appeared, twenty-seven Voung gentlemen Were seen shaking nands with as many young ladies in the different corners.- I have seldom seen such and affecting scene. It was a great disply of affection. . One mar ried gentleman was holding the hands' of two ladies. The hair of the ladies was generally crimples, while the hair of the young gentleman did not display a parting place. I reflected "how kin such things be, and overcome us like a summer shower?" I consulted with J. Billinjrs. He says they kan't. So I resolved to leave the place. I came back to Congress Hall and found the young ladies and young gentlemen hav ing a grand ball by candle light. Each young lady held in her hands a penny dip. They flew through the Lancers likeghostsin "Macbeth." Eight streaks of light made a terrible criss-cross, as the dance went on. Wrhen the grand chain came, the lights revolved like a gigantic fourth of July ptn-wheel. It was a great night for Saratoga. The young people liked it. Some prefer darkness rather than light,because their ways are evil. From the Louisville, . Ky., ' - Aug. 22. ; .

Yesterday three persons, charged wi Ui being Ku Klux, were., brought into the city by a detachment of United States soldiers from Estill. They were Tom Gilbert, Captain of the Cobb mountain Company Ku Klux, Kelsey Cox, and Will. Gillem, who es caped! from the hall of j the United States Court-room a few ! weeks ago, while waiting, with others, examina tion before the United States Commis sioner. Gilbert was arrested in Cas wellj Tenn., where he had been hiding for some weeks, uillem was caught in Barboursville, and Cox in Fitchburg, Estill County. They. were all arrested, we believe, by Captain Blackwell, Deputy Sheriff of Estill county. The soldiers also brought up a negro boy named Dave Prewitt, who is charged with. shooting and killing one Joe Curry, on the night of the 3d of August. So much has been written about this case, and so much abuse has been heaped upon Captain Morse, of the Sixteenth United States Infantry, stationed at Estill Furnance, that we will give the history of the transaction which seemed to threatens one time a collision between the State and mili tary authorities. Lafayette Prewitt, a negro, lived on Red Itiver, Powell County, on the Es till line, and had been summoned as a witness against the Ku Klux in some of their transactions in i that section. On the night of the 8d of August, three or foiir disguised, mounted men came to Pro witt's and asked forherhnsband. She told them he was not at home, and they replied that if she didn't tell where ho was they would kill the last one of them. She went to her son Dave (who seems to be a quiet, inof fensive negro boy, ) who was asleep, and awoke him, telling what the men wanted. . The disguised men called for Dave to come but, but he refused. They then rode I down the hilL dismounted and tied their horses.

Misrepre sentation, falsehood and abuse were heaped on this officer by Ku Klux .press and partisans, and we make this statement to show that he could not act otherwise than he did. Prewitt was brought here and will have a fair trial. All these, prisoners were committed to jail to answer. - On theloth of August Deputy United States Marshal A. II.!

We refer to Itobt. J. Walker and Doctor William M. Gwin, Duke of Sonora. An altercation occurred be tween them which, led to a challenge from Mr. Wralker. ; Walker was a man of remarkable diminutive size, while the Doctor towered ; like a giant, with the brawn and bone of a London porter. Walker was bent on fighting ; but the Doctor who was naturally a jovial and kind-hearted soul, did not feel at all aggrieved towards his adversary, j Be that as it might, the Doctor ac cepted the challenge, and chose the Indian war-tomahaw as his weapon. The terms were so arranged that on a given day the combatants were to be posted one hundred and fifty yards apart, and, at a given signal, to rush past each other, like knights in a tour ney, flinging their tomahawks in their course. , . t " The Doctor caused it to be bruited abroad that he practiced every day in a savannah, a few miles from the town where both resided.

John was among the missinsr at the battle of Spottsylvania court house, and though the wife refused to believe that he was dead,the war closed, and the prisoners returned home, but brought no tidings of John. The wife was forced now to believe that he was dead, and for a long time mourned for him and refused to be comforted. At last, however, a comforter appeared, in the shape of a former sweetheart named William,and in 1866,he and the widow were married. They lived happy to gether, and two little cherubs came, in process of time, to bless their union. The widow had almost forgotten John, when about a month ago her memories of him were rather unpleas antly awakened. Sitting with her hus band one evening in front of their house, she saw a bronzedfaced, weather-worn traveller approaching the house, and when he came near enough for his features to be distinguished, she recognized him as her long lost hus band, John Wiley! Here was a dilem ma indeed. The doubly-wedded wife did the only thing a woman could do under the CHCumstahcesr-she feinted.
